The Grace of Debt Redeemer

Memories of the Past.

Not long after, Kenzie entered the house and went straight to his room.

"Among … !" Shouted Kenzie while banging his own head because he felt very stressed over what happened.

Kenzie was really very angry and felt disappointed at the actions of his twin brother and ex-lover, but it is true what his mother said that with him behaving as he is now will not be able to restore the situation as before. From the bottom of his heart, there was a little guilt about his outrageous attitude towards his twin brother, he deeply regrets why their fraternal relationship should be destroyed just because they love the same woman.

Then Kenzie went out of his room and into Kenzo's room which now seemed quiet, although everything was still neatly arranged and absolutely nothing changed there. In this room also holds many memories between him and Kenzo, they often share stories, laugh, even sad together.

Kenzie sat on the edge of the bed and his eyes were fixed on a frame above the nightstand, where there was a picture of him with his brother Kenzo when he was a child. Kenzie took the picture frame and reminded her of past memories when they were 8 years old. Where there was a race but he was considered cheating so that made one of his friends angry and mocked him, he was crying because of the ridicule of his friend and his leg was also hurt because he was pushed. At that moment Kenzo came and defended him, and made the man who had made him cry immediately apologized. Then Kenzo also comforted her not to cry anymore and also carried her, bringing her home.

Not only that, even when they were teenagers and adults Kenzo was always nearby, defending, supporting and helping him in distress. Although their age is only 5 minutes different, but for him Kenzo is really a big brother who can lead it because Kenzo can behave more mature.

Kenzie suddenly cried hysterically and his tears flowed profusely because remembering the memories of the past together with his twin brother, he never thought if their brotherly relationship would become what it is today.

"Stop Sir!" Kenzo said to the taxi driver while on a fairly quiet street, there is no settlement at all there.

After paying some money to the driver, Kenzo just got out of the taxi and seemed to walk down the path that turned out to lead to a lake. There are only lights from a distance so the place looks dark. Then Kenzo stood by the lake, hoping to calm his heart there.

Her tears seemed to flow like river water as she recalled the memories of her past with Kenzie, her beloved sister. He also recalled how harmonious their families were even when there were Keenan and Nadine in Collin's residence, but now everything seemed to disappear and all there was was hatred for the mistakes he made.

"Why does everything have to be like this. What's wrong if I love someone, what's wrong if I love and marry the woman I love? I know Ciara is my brother's lover, but how else, I also have to take responsibility for what I've done. But after I took responsibility and tried to be a good husband, why did Ciara also not appreciate me at all, why did she even hate me. Why is everyone blaming me, why is no one else defending me but Mama, why?" Kenzo.

"Among … !" Shouted Kenzo while throwing stones towards the lake as far as possible.

Then he curled up and squealed as he cried. Right now his heart is really very fragile and broken, not knowing how to live his current life.

Meanwhile, Ciara looks paced in her room because until now Kenzo has not returned home, even though the time has shown at 23:30 WIB. He was really unsettled, afraid that something might happen to the man. Although she does not love Kenzo, she is still her husband. Especially before leaving they had a big fight, then Kenzo left not to bring a vehicle that made Ciara feel anxious.

Then she grabbed her phone and tried to call Kenzo but her husband's phone number was off, which raised her concerns. So in the end he decided to contact Dinda several times but her mother-in-law did not answer her phone, making her confused not know what to do. It feels like he also wants to go out to find where Kenzo is even though Dinda had advised that he should not go anywhere.

"Hello Ma's. Ma'am sorry I interrupted Mama on nights like this" said Ciara.

"What's the matter, honey, did something happen to you?" Ask Dinda.

"Ma, Kenzo hasn't come home yet. When Mama told Kenzo from there, I thought she was going home, it turns out that he didn't come home and I thought maybe Kenzo just went to calm his mind for a while but up until now Kenzo hasn't come home yet Ma" said Ciara who looked panicked.

"Ciara, you calm down. Maybe Kenzo's on his way home right now" Dinda said.

"But what if he doesn't come home with Ma, I'm afraid something happened with Kenzo. Right now it must have been very upset, he had fought with me and kept fighting with Kenzie and Papi, and now he is really very broken. How is this Ma, did I just go find Kenzo's whereabouts," said Ciara.

"Don't be Ciara and don't think that kind of darling. You stay home, don't come out because you're pregnant. Moreover, it is already night, it would be very dangerous if you went out alone. You don't know where to look for Kenzo anyway? Mama will try to contact Kenzo's friend to find out where she is, maybe her friend also knows where Kenzo is now" Dinda said.

"Yes Ma, thank you very much Ma. Once again I'm sorry for disturbing Mama these nights, I beg you to let me know soon Ma" said Ciara and ended the call.

Ciara waited for half an hour, but she did not get any news about Kenzo. Making her really feel very worried and also unable to sleep, she even went back and forth to check her phone, hoping for a call from Dinda, Kenzo or whoever it is that is informing her husband's whereabouts at this time, but in fact there is absolutely nothing.

Tok ... tok …

Until at that time there was a knock on the door of the house that made Ciara jerked, he also felt afraid because this time has shown at 00.00 WIB. What if it's a bad guy or a robber who wants to hurt him? But it's possible that Kenzo did because he locked the door from the inside and Kenzo himself didn't bring a spare key so it's impossible to get in if he doesn't open the door.

To prove it, Ciara slowly walked out of her room and headed to the main door. But before opening the door, because the room was dark while outside the light made Ciara could see who was in front of the house by peeking at it from the window. But he could not see clearly, only knowing that the one knocking at the door was a man.

"Cia-ra bu-ka the door." There was a voice of someone who spoke with stammering, which made Ciara just open the door because she recognized the voice of her husband.

When the door opened, Ciara was very surprised to see Kenzo who had just fallen down and lay on the floor in an appalling condition.

"Brand … !"
